The BlizzCon is coming to an end, which means the finals of the Overwatch World Cup 2016 is upon us. Here you will get the information about the results and teams of the finals. We will also embed the livestream.
The quarterfinals and semifinals are over, and the best teams in the world will compete today, on November 5, 2016, at 7:00 PM for the championship title.
The best teams are: Russia and South Korea! One of these two teams will soon be able to call themselves world champions and take the trophy home. Here is a brief overview of how these teams made their way to the finals.
What to know about the teams Russia and South Korea
- Russia
Russia has proven throughout the entire championship that they bring significant firepower to the game. While other teams are well balanced in terms of defensive and supportive players, Russia is packed with players who are very offensive and leave their mark on the field.
Notably, ShaDowBurn. Anyone who watched the games yesterday knows how often this name came up. Shadowburn has made a name for himself with his fantastic Genji play and is currently considered the best Genji player in the world. He can secure kills without even using his ultimate. His Reaper yesterday was also impressive. Rubikon and Redzzzz deserve a mention as well, as they help their team stay grounded and force their opponents to play at their pace.
South Korea:
South Korea’s strategy is built on a very aggressive setup, combined with heroes that require a lot of mechanical skill. There is probably no group that represents this style better than South Korea.
Miro and Zumba lead the team and prefer to play the tank class, with Winston and Zarya being particular favorites. Once the two tanks are in play, EscA follows, who is best known for quickly eliminating opposing offensive heroes – preferably with a very accurate McCree. This is the playstyle that most fans were expecting, and South Korea delivered just that. The rest of the team provides the necessary balance in supportive roles and flexible picks.
